Unocoin Founder Recounts His Arrest Following Indian Crackdown on Bitcoin ATMs11.36

Just one week ago, Indian officials arrested the co-founder of an Indian cryptocurrency exchange, Unocoin, for operating a Bitcoin ATM kiosk which the police called “illegal”. One of Unocoin’s co-founders has now given a recount of his arrest in a recent interview.

The Unocoin co-founder’s arrests were largely publicized and was seen by many as the Indian government’s way of flexing their muscles against the cryptocurrency industry, which they have been at war with since they first barred crypto exchanges from engaging in banking relationships earlier this year.
